Strategic Outcomes 

GGGI recognizes that inclusive and green growth interventions must be the means to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) set out under the Agenda 2030 and Paris Climate Agreement respectively. Similarly, well-designed and interlinked climate action and SDG implementation programs should be the drivers of green and inclusive growth in the countries we operate in. This warrants that the link between green growth, NDCs and SDGs is articulated clearly to effectively design and deliver green growth programs. In this context, GGGI outlined six long-term Strategic Outcomes (SOs) representing long-term development outcomes which GGGI strives to achieve in the member and partner countries. To this end, it is necessary to understand the readiness for green growth transition in the context of achievement the SOs, SDGs and NDGs. This project aims to articulate the narrative and scope of the SOs and provide guidelines to identify country-level targets and put forward methods to estimate impacts from GGGI’s activities. In order to do this, the new programs focused on green jobs and air quality assessments in a number of target countries. To develop analytical frameworks and assess green growth readiness from a SDG and NDC perspective, GGGI joined forces with AfDB’s Climate Change and Green Growth department. The outputs are expected to strengthen GGGI’s thought leadership around NDC and SDG implementation, green growth and employment, air quality, as well as development impact assessment and monitoring.
